1. دارُ الأميرِ سعيدِ اللَّمعِ قد سَعِدَتْ

    بغُصنِ بانٍ فيا بُشراهُ بالثَّمَرِ

    The house of Prince Saʿid al-Lamʿ has indeed found joy

    In a bān-tree bough—what glad tidings of fruit for him!

  2. ويا لها ليلةً نادَى مؤرِّخُها

    سعدُ السُّعودِ اُقترانُ الشَّمسِ والقمَرِ

    And what a night it was! Its chronicler proclaimed:

    The best of fortunes is the conjunction of the sun and moon.
